Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP Hide & Security Enhancer plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.5.1

Description The issue is related to a missing authorization and insufficient file path validation in the file-process.php, allowing unauthenticated attackers to delete the contents of arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to site breakage or data loss.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.5.1, update to a version later than 2.5.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the file-process.php to minimize the risk of exploitation.
